THE 



LEAGUE OF 
AMERICAN WHEELMEN. 

.... Is an ovgauization that embraces the 
field of bicycli}ig in the United States, pro- 
fessing to promote tlie cause of improved 
roads throughout the enthe country ; to con- 
trol and propel ly regulate cycle racing on 
the track, and to perform other offices closely 
related thereto. 

In pursuit of these objects the league has 
been generally successful, and is entitled to 
the moral and material support of all wheel- 
men and wheel women. 

The League of American Wheelmen is di- 
vided into divisions with respect to the dif- 
ferent States of the Union, and each of these 
State divisions is presided over by a chief 
consul, a vice-consul, a secretary-treasurer, 
and board of delegates. The League as a 
whole, and the several State divisions, each 
holds an annual meeting, at which yearly 
business is transacted, and a programme of 
races for championships is given. 

Racing men under the jurisdiction of the 
L. A. W. are divided into three classes: A, B, 
and Professional. Class A riders are amateurs, 
accepting prizes not over $50 in value and no 
expense moneys from bicycle manufacturers; 
Class B riders are paid for their riding by man- 
ufacturers, but are not allowed to accept cash 
for piizes: Professional riders are permitted 
to ride for cash prizes.
